Finally a satisfying game for fan-atics like me in front of the TV.
It wasn't the ol' ManUtd flair but then I have to come to accept it.. With Keane and Cantona publicly lashing out at the present bunch.. I think this team needs some slack and a stern hand.
With Chelsea dropping 2 points against Charlton (finally!), It was all to play for 2nd place wannabes. (I can't help but mention Arsenal got beat by Beattie for Everton yesterday. hee hee)
Liverpool to be fair played better for most of the game - Cisse wasn't ready for a gift wrapped one. Rio cleared one off the lines just in the nick of time. Nistelrooy, Saha and Rooney taking difficult shots in desperation.
But then if you leave things hanging by a thread till the end sometimes it bites you in the ass.
90 minute.. score 0-0... Finnan gives away a freekick. Ryan Giggs steps up to take it..
I'm thinking.. 'Come on Giggsy bend one in.' He puts in a cross, Rio Ferdinand
runs in, glance-directs the ball past the flying goalie... 1-0 !!!
Rafa cries foul for Rooney making a hard tackle on Sinnama Pongal a min before the goal. They wanted rooney to be ejected instead of picking up a yellow.. (Gerrard made about 3 tackles from behind on Rooney and didn't get a card). Xabi alonso pulled Giggs down when he was clear on setting up a pass. Then Gerrard swears at the ref and picks up a yellow. The rest of the Reds go off the pitch swearing.
All in all a great game for Man Utd fans. We'll take whatever we get to get to the Blues !
